It’s been two years since we’ve been able to indulge in a new season of The Crown. The historical drama follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II, and season 5, the first since the real-life monarch’s death in September, premiered last Wednesday, blessing our Netflix screens with the intimate character studies and beautiful sets and cinematography the series is known for.
The season picks up in 1991, and Elizabeth has a lot on her plate. Her son Prince Charles and Princess Diana are heading towards divorce. Rumors swirl that Prince Philip is having an affair. And on top of all that, The Sunday Times reports that the Queen is suffering from “Queen Victoria Syndrome.”
If you’re like us, you’ve already binged through all 10 episodes and Googled the season 6 release date (spoiler alert: It’s not soon). But in the meantime, there are other period pieces, royal retellings, and historical dramas to fill the void left by Imelda Staunton and Elizabeth Debicki.
Here’s what to watch if you can’t get enough of The Crown.
